Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a flushing circuit for a hydraulic cylinder drive circuit, by which the flushing of the circuit is conducted while protecting precision apparatuses of a control valve unit, because the flushing of a reciprocating hydraulic cylinder and its drive circuit is conducted while bypassing the control valve unit. In a hydraulic oil supply/discharge circuit connecting a tank of hydraulic oil, a hydraulic pump generating pressurized hydraulic oil, and a hydraulic cylinder with one another, a control valve unit in which at least a direction switching valve is provided in the vicinity of the hydraulic pump and the oil tank and a multifunction valve having a bypass circuit in the vicinity of the hydraulic cylinder are provided, and a bypass circuit bypassing the control valve unit is provided to branch from a hydraulic oil supply/discharge circuit between the multifunction valve and the control valve unit. At the time of the flushing of the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic oil supply/discharge circuit, contaminated hydraulic oil returns the tank without passing through the control valve unit, with the result that the control valve unit is protected from the contaminated hydraulic oil.
